Just some little sneak peeks at pages for a QB5 Swap!
We each have a small book to be worked in. These are pages
for Margaret's book on Things with Wings!
Below is what my sister-in-law brought me for my birthday last weekend.
Yes, my birthday was in May....but I just now saw her.
And, yes, they are from Anthropologie!
A bird pitcher/duck pitcher!
And two tea towels with birds on them
and one has pom-pom fringe!!!!
Have you seen these bags at Target?
They're in school supplies!
They are basically pencil bags....but I'm sure I need them!

Remember the Vintage Bird Swap at Danielle's blog that I joined a few months ago? Above is my offering ... before I found my carpet tacks and attached the wire hanger (and never took another photo of it). Well......yesterday I received the art from my swap partner!!!! See below....it's so wonderful.

I really got a great swap partner, don't ya think? Her name is Susi and this is her blog.

I tried to capture the color and texture by tweeking this in Photoshop.... never did really do it justice! Take my word it is exquisite....

It seems I'm on the shower circuit these days. I've been partying with the "to-be's" since Thursday. Either brides, moms or grandmothers "to-be"..... So I have been a little bit less focused on paper art..... but I did get a swap mailed one day last week...my 19 pages for A Little Bird Told Me. I have my quote on the backs.

And, yes, it's my old familiar scripture text nests. I have an

old New Testament that is falling apart and what better way to

use it than by spreading the Word in art projects!

Sunday as I was driving to my last event of the weekend... I realized I hadn't

Someone sent me this in an email. I have googled it and searched You-Tube, but can't find it. If anyone knows where it came from, who it is, etc., please let me know and I will give them credit. I love it!

Please know that the bird fan I'm holding is NOT from Linda/Willow Nest, nor did I buy it anywhere.... Linda's husband handed it to me and I said I'd just hold it for the picture...looks pretty! I did see the booth that was selling it later... should've taken a picture of them.

I visited Willow Nest's booth at Zapp Hall in Warrenton last October and her friend that was managing it didn't want me to put any pictures of it on my blog....
